Seung K Kim, MD

My mom and I both have had a little something done here and he is really great. Post surgery I called him freaking out about some symptoms and he answered during off hours and helped calm me down. He’s a perfectionist and is superior at what he does. Front desk staff also very helpful and very sweet. If I win the lottery I will be coming back.

FYI: there’s no free consultation at his office. Receptionist said it’s going to cost $ 125. But if I go with the procedure then it will apply toward the fee. What a bummer! I read good reviews and was hoping to see him.

Dr. Kim is so artistic, thoughtful and quite talented. He has a very easy, gentle manner and explained everything in a very common-​sense kind of way. His office staff really complemented the work he performs …
This is a very accomplished physician that I feel comfortable in recommending.

This review is for Cyndi, the skincare specialist in Dr Kim’s office. I go to Cyndi for facials on regular basis. She does an excellent, thorough job. Gives good advise on skincare. I’ve had facials with different people before, but most of them wouldn’t clean your acne by hand. Cyndi deep cleans your skin of clogs, then applies varies peels and masks based on your skin condition. She also applies microdermabrasion.

I have yet to have work done by Dr. Kim, but my boss has and she looks fantastic.
However, I have had facials done at his office, and I highly recommend them. Cindy is an amazing at her work.
Previous places I have gone to seem only able to provide cookie cutter facials. Cindy evaluates the skin and treats accordingly. I have been searching for quite some time for someone who knows their stuff, and I have finally found one.

Dr. Kim… WOW!!!
My first meeting with Dr. Kim was about 9 years ago. I wanted to get plastic surgery but wasn’t sure if I should.
I did a lot of research on different surgeons, asked different friends about there surgery, asked for recommendations, but at the end of the day I kept going back to Dr. Kim.
Dr. Kim’s office at the time was in Campbell close to Los Gatos. I went to see him about 5 times because I wanted to make sure I did the right thing. One thing I knew for sure is that he would be my doctor. From my first visit to my final visit I recommended 3 different friends to him. Including my aunt. All very happy with the results, Dr. Kim is an outstanding surgeon and very well educated.
I suggest you ask for his resume, you will be very impressed to see everything Dr. Kim has done.
I finally got my surgery done 05. Breast Implants. I remember telling Dr. Kim «I want to walk into a room and still be my face and smile the first thing people notice not my breast» «I want to look very natural»
Well I’ll tell you something… (other then friends and family) No one can tell I have implants, most people don’t believe me when I tell them I have B.I. and they follow by asking «Who was your surgeon»
Not only was my experience with his office and staff very satisfying, but my final results were more then what I expected.
He does have a very conservative approach, yet easy going and understanding to peoples needs…
So you might ask why am I putting up a review now… well
1^st because 9 years ago we didn’t have Unilocal… (I don’t think)
2^nd because now I’m planning on getting laser hair removal and I am planning on going again to Dr. Kim’s office :)
I was hoping more people would have written a review on him and his office… he sure does deserve a lot of credit for his work!!!
So don’t be shy and tell the world what a great Doctor he is!!!

I was prepared to get some work done, and wanted a consult. Dr. Seung K is a very handsome and friendly man, and very approachable in his explanation of why I didn’t need the procedure I was coming to consult for. He was honest, and like Tu’s review, he was telling me of the possible complications, and how it will out weigh the effects of what I wanted.
A very friendly staff, that radiates warmth and professionalism as well.

I have known Dr. Kim since 1987 when I had my first facelift, eyelid and under eyes (bags) removed. He is truly a professional — very thorough in his explanation on what is going to happen to you, his demeanor is quiet, confident, and you know you are in good hands.
The follow –up phone, office visits continue far after your surgery and the staff is excellent.
In 2006, I had another facelift (my birthday gift) and again Dr. Kim explained new procedures in surgery — it has been 19 years — so technology has improved. I went back because I knew Dr. Kim is 5 stars when it comes to cosmetic surgery — he is a master — no visible scars and the face looks natural and younger looking. I’m a 60 year old male in the public relations field — so appearance is part of marketing and presentation. I would highly recommend Dr. Kim to anyone who is considering cosmetic work. If there is a Nobel Prize for Cosmetic Surgery — Dr. Seung Kim should receive it!!! (Submitted by Daniel Petelin, Redwood City, CA)

I visited Dr. Kim’s office after doing extensive research and meeting with several other cosmetic surgeons. My thinking was «This is my face! I’ve got to be absolutely certain that I’ve got the right surgeon.» Much as I wanted a «touch up», I was afraid to have cosmetic surgery. My experience with Dr. Kim was A+ all the way. The results are lovely, there’s no visible scarring, I look myself but refreshed. Dr. Kim doesn’t oversell, so I am actually much happier with the outcome than I expected to be. I’d go back to him in a minute and recommend him without hesitation. My friends who have seen how my surgery turned out don’t even bother with multiple consultations — they go directly to Dr. Kim. I just want to make sure I get a «tune up» before he retires!!!

Another visit to another plastic surgeon to research my friends «procedure».
I was very impressed with Dr. Kim and his office. He was very professional, yet easy and fun to talk to. He explained everything in detail and was very honest about possible complications.
I especially appreciated his conservative approach. He actually discouraged my friend from having surgery until she is done having children. I think that’s great. It would be easy to take my friend’s money and do the surgery. But, he recommended that she wait. BUT, if she really wanted to do it, he recommended that she stay more conservative so that after she had children things could be reevaluated.
He is one of many plastic surgeons in this office. They share an operating suite. A pretty cool set up.
